Chaldea Breakroom
Berserker Arjuna(Alter)
---Developer Commentary---
What are some of the highlights of Arjuna (Alter)'s battle and Noble Phantasm animations?
Combined with the illustration provided by [character designer] pako, Arjuna(Alter)’s Noble Phantasm animation was initially laid out on a normal screen viewpoint, where the enemy was in the left and Arjuna(Alter) simply swung his sword from the right. However, a change in the storyboard midway shifted the NP animation to have us looking up at Arjuna(Alter), which is what we all see today, and which hopefully conveys the sheer scale of this Servant. The background of his animation was something I agonized for a while, since Arjuna(Alter) encapsulates his enemies, space, and all. Having him standing in front of a specific background would have looked unnatural, and so I purposefully made him stand in an empty, jet-black hyperspace.
Multiple minute adjustments were also made to the rotation speed, the pause, and movements of Arjuna(Alter)’s sword to make the animation look smooth and magnificent. His normal animation movements also show him manipulating planets, rather than a bow and arrow, which were meant to highlight his high Divinity aspect.
